In this tutorial, I’ll show you a no-mess solution with the Color Theory inks and your favorite letterpress plates to make some fun party coasters. Click here to download the PDF and get started!

@nicolereaves I love this project! I think these will make great teachers' gifts, and I just ordered a bunch of the blank coasters from Studio Calico. I'm wondering how you think the coaster will work once a sweaty drink is put on it? Do you think the ink will smear? Or perhaps there's a way to protect them?

@CatherineInDC, I wondered the same thing about the smearing ink under a sweaty drink. I'm going to try it out this weekend and will let you know!
